I gave up on the collapsible ones 'cos they roll around in the back when
we go round corners. Now have a cubic rigid one that stops other things
rolling. Seals well, purs well, stacks too!

I have found that if I use a knife and work the spout of the collapsable
water jugs, I can get them to seal better.  On the bigger "gerry cans",
I once used old oil filter seals in the lid to seal them.  worked fine.
